Sailing Through Sundays on The JC: 1963

Here are 3 shots from a set of 1963 black and white views, featuring a somewhat nerdish protagonist (surely you can pick him out from that description!).

The alligators are snapping near the ancient shrine:

Trader Sam offers his wares:

VIRAL MARKETING DEPARTMENT:Kevin Kidney turned Jed onto this who turned me onto it; The Punchy Players have done 2 Hollywood Parodies that are perfect for a Sunday Morning chuckle...especially if you know a little bit about the two stars they are parodying (Judy Garland and Lucille Ball).

Happy Sunday to Jungle CruiseI have a question that popped up in our family, and was hit home this morning when I check Kevin Kidney's blog this AM. Regarding the Mailboxes at Disneyland. If Disneyland doesn't have its own Post Office anymore, does that mean that a Mail Carrier from the USPO comes to pick up the mail...box to box. What a gig that would be. But I bet its not that romantic. Any thoughts?

Re the mailboxes: We had a similar thing on the Queen Mary. I was told at the time (late 70's) that as long as the box didn't say "US Mail" the Post office permitted certain corporations permission to collect mail in unofficial boxes and turn the contents over to the Post Man in a sack when he arrived. Regulations have probably changed.

Re the Garland Girls Video: I had a lot of fun with this. Certainly more effective than any ads Cream of Wheat is running now.
